One of the many museums the Arnolds visited while in Denmark. Jorn Oberg Utzon (1918-2008) was a Danish architect best known for his design of the Sydney Opera House in Australia.

The Utzon Center in Aalborg was Jorn Utzon's last work of architecture. Located on the Limfjord waterfront in the city where Utzon spent his childhood, the building was completed in 2008, the year Utzon died.

In addition to the permanent exhibition of his work on display in the gallery hallways, the centre of architecture and design contains exhibition spaces, auditorium, workshop facilities for architecture students, children's workshops focussing on play and learning, a design shop and a restaurant, JORN, with a view over the harbour.
